The immensely of the clothing depart
ment is fairly OvershadOwed by the vast
floor devoted TO dry goods. Some radi-
cal changes have been made in this
branch of the house, a more complete
system OF division into departments has
been made, and extensive preparation
almost completed for the fall trade
which Is already opening and promises
to be larger than ever. When these
preparations are completed and the full
stock upon the shelves the LIGHT will
give due notice Of that fact, and the
ladies Of San Antonio, southern Texas
and northern Mexico will be invited
to come and inspect the stock at their
leisure. The fall assortment of dry
goods is coming in daily and fading its
proper place upon the shelves in the
several departments. All special men.
ton OF this stock will be omitted for the
present, but the ladies will find even
now, on these shelves, all that can be
found in any other dry goods house In
Texas and goods at the usual prices
fully as the lowest Sacrifice prices"
as low as and "selling out fig
ures" of other houses. The ar
rangements OF this dry goods
house for receiving folding and marking
purchases, and making change, under
the system of the LampsOn store
service company, greatly facilitates
operations and save hours Of
valuable time. The system will soon
be extended to the clothing department
as well and the whole service be made
uniform. When this is accomplished
the whole number Of stations in the es-
Establishment will be tbirty-five. To the
curiOusly inclined, some central position
in this Immense retail house, and a
hours survey Of this industrious hive Of
humans, all working as one under the
directing eye and hand Ofthe unOsten-
tatious owner, will afford much food for

When the mental energies flag. and

wavers; when il requires great effort
TO read the family paper, magazine,

Jersey heifers ought to be bred by
the time they are sixteen months old.
If of good size, and growing we'll,
they may be bred at twelve months,
but under-sized ones, unless they are
getting quite fat, should not be bred
so soon. The danger is that as the
heifer grows in size she will lay on
internal fat, which will prevent her
catching, and confirm her as barren
heifer. She may be operated upon
with some prospect of success, but
most Of the barren Jersey and Guern-
sey heifers we hear Of are so simply
because they were not bred early
enough. In the case Of undersized
heifers, which prove good mixers, do
not let them be bred again for several
months, in order that they may use
the time to make growth.-AmericaA

A story is told in the New York

said: "Sir, my friend and have

To wean the calf when it is a week
old is usually thought to be more
trouble than to allow it to suck the
COW, and weaning is justified only
heoanse it is considered better for
COW and calf; but / would rather wean
a calf when it is six days old than
when it is six weeks or three months
old; and | would rather draw all four
teats dry than draw two while the
calf is pulling and butting away on
the other side. The man who haa
any religion to lose. and who is no,
as firmly grounded as Job, would
better wean the calf when it is one
week old.--Jno. NJ Stahl in Western

mer are few days old, and the soon
er they adopt the plan the better.

There is point in breeding dairy
cows which old beef breeders are apt
to overlook. It is that breeding a
heifer early gives her a tendency to
produce milk, which grows with her
growth and strengthens with her
strength. II she does not "cnme in"
until she is three years old, on the ap
proved Shorthorn principle thechances
are she will never make big mixer.
Then, too, with lhe milch breeds there
is the chance that If not bred young
they will never breed at all.-Ameri
can Dairyman.

FRIEND YANK AND HIS KNIFE,

How the Soldiers Used to Trade Things
Across the Line.
The social intercourse which took place
during the war between the opposing
armies will always be pleasant to remem-
ber. The chronicler of the doings of the
"Fourth Rhode Island Volunteers" gives
an incident illustrating the kindliness
and honesty which usually presided over
the little bargains made by "Yanks" and
"Johnnies," as they jocosely called each
other.
On one occasion the pickets of both
lines. were so near together that they
could indulge in friendly chat, and trade
for coffee, tobacco and similar articles.
One man, whose stock of tobacco was
exhausted, wrapped a large jack-knife in
a piece of paper, on which he had writ
ten proposal to exchange for three
pieces of tobacco, and threw the pack
age into the enemy's lines.
Of course, the Confederates could have
kept the knife, without payment, had
they chosen, as its owner could not cross
the line to obtain it.
A crowd gathered, examined and
tested the merits of the knife. Finally,
an officer threw it back, wrapped, with a
large piece of tobacco, in paper con-
tanning the following note:
FRIEND YANK.-The knife is good
one, but we are not allowed to trade.
However, you are welcome to this piece
of tobacco. Yours, SOLDIER.

Among the Lolos of Western China it
is customary for the bride on the we'd

highest branch of a large tree, while the
elder female members of her family clus-
ter on the lower limbs, armed with sticks.
When all are duly stationed the bride
groom Chambers up the tree, assailed ON all
sides by blows, pushes and pinches from
the dowagers, and it is not until he has
broken through their fence and captured
the bride that he is allowed to carry her
off Similar difficulties assail the BRIDE
groom among the Mongolian Koraks,
who are in the habit of celebrating their
marriages in large tents, divided into
numerous separate but communicating
compartments. At a given signal,
as soon as the guests are assembled,
the bride starts off through the
compartments, followed by her wooer,
while the women of the encampment

A friend disappeared and returned
with a glass of water. After compli-

A Dinner. Anecdote Told of the Great
English Physician.
A good story of Sir Morell Mackenzie is
being told at dinner tables. Sir Morell was
sitting at meat with well-known autho1ess,
who had just published a novel containing
the story of a young lady whose career was
by no means desirable. Had he read the
book his fair inquirer wanted to know; he
confessed he had not; he had no time for
reading novels. But he always heard great
deal about them, and he knew what the
world said of this particular tale. And what
did the worldsay? Well. the world said that
such character as this heroine (this in Sir
Morells most agreeable and charming man
ner) could have been drawn only from the
personal experience of the writer. The
pause in the conversation which ensued after
this tremendous faux pas convinced Sir
Morell that he had made very big blunder.
He went home wondering. Next day he
spent fee to get the three volumes, and is
said to have had in their perusal the most
agreeable sensations that fiction ever af-
forded him.-Eschange.

Give Them a ChanceI

That is to say your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air passages, bat the thous-
ands of little tubes and cavities leading
from them.
When these are clOgged and ch0ked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they can
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption or any of the
family of throat and nose and head and
lung distractions, all are bad. All
ought to be got rid of. There is just
one sure way to get rid of them. That
is to take Boschee's German Syrup
which any druggist will sell you at 5
cents a bottle. Even if everything
else has failed you, you may depend
upon this for certain. COW
